Anti-Vimentin Recombinant Chicken Chimeric mAb FL550 Conjugate (LN6)
Our chicken Anti-Vimentin FL550 conjugate recombinant monoclonal antibody is a chimeric antibody derived from clone LN6. It detects human Vimentin and is purified by affinity chromatography. Works in IHC.

Vimentin is the major protein subunit of the 10 nm or intermediate filaments (IFs) found in many kinds of mesenchymal and epithelial cells as well as developing neuronal and astrocytic precursor cells in the CNS. Vimentin is thought to be critically involved in lymphocyte adhesion and transmigration (Nieminen M et al. 2006). Copolymers are frequently formed between vimentin and other IFs, such as GFAP (in many kinds of astrocytes), desmin (in muscle cells) and neurofilament proteins (in developing neurons). Antibodies to vimentin are useful in studies of stem cells and generally to reveal the filamentous cytoskeleton. Recent studies suggest that vimentin affects prostate cancer cells motility and invasiveness (Zhao et al. 2008).

This recombinant antibody is a chimeric antibody created by replacing the mouse heavy and light constant regions of clone LN6 with chicken IgY heavy and light constant regions. As such this antibody retains the same binding performance as the original clone LN6 but can be detected using standard anti-chicken secondary antibodies allowing flexibility for multiplexing applications. This antibody is expressed recombinantly in mammalian cells and then affinity purified from the cell culture media.

UniProt Summary: Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally. Plays a role in cell directional movement, orientation, cell sheet organization and Golgi complex polarization at the cell migration front (By similarity). Protects SCRIB from proteasomal degradation and facilitates its localization to intermediate filaments in a cell contact-mediated manner (By similarity). May promote axon outgrowth and motor fiber repair via DSP-mediated recruitment to outgrowth tips (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A8C0N8E3, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P20152, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P31000}.; Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21746880}.
